“They’re closing the schools!” my co-worker marveled.
“Why?” I asked.
“Because of the fair.”

And with that odd exchange, I learned that the 158th annual Wayne County Fair is a pretty major deal. I sure can’t recall any of my schools in Summit County ever giving us a “Fair Day,” but that’s exactly what happens in Wooster this Monday—when over a dozen districts in Wayne County send their students off to learn about agriculture, animals, and…well, have fun at the fair. What a blast! Our WBNX crew will be on hand Saturday to host two first-time events: a Scavenger Hunt with Scooby-Doo and Ali for kids 12 and under (the first 700), from noon til 2; and a Teen Night dance party from 7-10pm. Our buddy, Kevin, from Main Attraction DJ Service will be spinning the tunes, and Niel will have some nice giveaways.

I’ve eaten hamburgers that cost more than the fair’s general admission price of $2. A nice bargain for a full day of entertainment. (Oh, and education! — pop-quiz on Tuesday) Need more info on the fair? Click here!
